Lamar Jackson jokes about Victor Wembanyama dwarfing him in their latest viral pic: "He was on his toes"

NFL star Lamar Jackson had jokes about his encounter with Victor Wembanyama. The NBA rookie sensation is used to making fellow NBA players look shorter, and when he meets with athletes from other sports and even regular people, the height difference gets magnified.

The Baltimore Ravens shared a picture of their star quarterback, Jackson, alongside Victor Wembanyama. The San Antonio Spurs big man was much taller than Jackson, who looked like a regular person instead of an NFL quarterback.

The reigning NFL MVP had a hilarious reaction to the photo, joking about Wembanyama being on his toes to look taller.

"He was on his toes😅," Jackson wrote on X.

Even though height is a key trait for NFL quarterbacks, there's no comparison with NBA players. Jackson is listed at 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m), which would be good for an NBA guard. That said, with Wembanyama being listed at 7'4" (2.24 m), the difference is huge.

Multiple fans react to this picture, making jokes about Jackson's height and showing their surprise about Wembanyama's height.

“My goals were always to help my team as best as I could and get better as the year went on. I knew in order to do this I had to be individually good on the court and dominant.
